Early the next morning, Ryuha and Kakashi met up with the mission's client and began to head to the mission's destination.

Due to the presence of ordinary people in the team, Ryuha and Kakashi were unable to rush with all their might.

The bandits to be defeated on this mission came over shortly after the end of the Third Ninja World War. Taking advantage of the chaotic period just after the end of the war, they carried out various kinds of deprivation of several nearby villages. In other words, this commission was actually issued jointly by several villages.

The client who came to Konoha was a middle-aged uncle in ordinary clothes named Kinobu Santai, the son of the village chief who issued the commission.

However, along the way, Ryuha didn't pay too much attention to the middle-aged uncle, and her attention was always focused on Kakashi's body.

And Kakashi, like the one he saw yesterday, maintained a cold attitude. Even if he noticed that Ryuha was looking at him, he didn't say anything, as if Ryuha didn't exist.

"Miss Ryuyu, is there something wrong with this little brother?"

Maybe Kakashi fled too coldly, and along the way, Kinobu Santai always unconsciously stayed away from Kakashi. Finally, Kinobu Santai couldn't stand Kakashi's cold look, so he leaned over to Ryuyu and asked in a whisper. Compared to the cold Kakashi, Kinobu Santai still prefers Ryuha, a lively little mushroom.

Kakashi's senses were very sharp, and even though Kinobu Santai had suppressed his voice to an extremely low level, he was still heard by Kakashi on the side. It's just that Kakashi doesn't care much about Kinobu Santai's evaluation, and still puts on his dead fish face, without a trace of waves, maybe he's used to it.

"He's fine, it's just that he's not in a good mood these two days!"

Liuyu was naturally aware of all this, and waved his hand at Mu Yansantai with a little embarrassment.

......

The moon slowly rose, and the night began to invade the land. Liuyu and his party temporarily stopped by a stream, preparing to rest here for a night and then travel again tomorrow.

Around the campfire, the three of them sat around and prepared dinner.

"Well---- it's delicious, it's really delicious, I've never eaten such delicious grilled fish in my life! Brother, your craftsmanship is amazing! ”

Mu Yan Sandai took a bite of the fish in his hand, and as soon as he bit it, he couldn't stop admiring vaguely.

Since the camp was by a stream, tonight's dinner was without exception 'fish'. The fish were caught by Ryuha using the grass to summon aquatic weeds at the bottom of the stream, and the job of roasting them was left to Kakashi.

Hearing Kinobu Santai's praise, Kakashi remained indifferent, just picked up a grilled fish and ate it by himself.

"Hehe-----"

Seeing Kakashi ignoring himself like this, Kinobu Santai scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. Hearing Mu Yan Santai's evaluation, Ruyu couldn't help but pick up a grilled fish and gently put it to his mouth.

Savor it, the chewy fish has a sweet and sour taste, and it seems to be a fusion of all the flavors of the world, which is very wonderful. Even Ryuha, who has never liked to eat fish, can't help but praise, "It's delicious!" ”

In addition to being an excellent ninja, Kakashi is also an extremely good chef.

......

When it was time for the night, Kakashi had a little argument with Ryuha. Kakashi offered to be on duty tonight, but Ryuha disagreed with Kakashi's request to be on duty for the night.

If the partner of this mission is not Kakashi, if someone else asks to be on duty tonight, maybe Ryuha will agree. However, the purpose of Ryuha's mission this time was not to wipe out the bandits at all, so Ryuha did not intend to make concessions to Kakashi on the issue of tonight's guard.

"I'm a reclusive ninja, and I have a lot more role to play at night than you, so you might as well rest tonight! Besides, I am the captain of this mission, and the team members should listen to the captain. "Jin Yong Chinese

Looking at Kakashi with a cold face, Ryuha said helplessly. This mission was specially arranged by Bo Feng Shuimen, and Ryu Yu became the leader of this mission.

This is the first time that Ryuha has led a team on a mission alone, and it is the first time that Ryuha has led a team on a mission as a captain, and his team members are a shinobi.

When it came to this, Kakashi was not easy to refute, and finally walked indifferently to his sleeping bag. Watching Kakashi walk towards his sleeping bag, Ryuha frowned slightly, Kakashi was too cold now.

In the end, Ryu sighed helplessly, jumped on a tree, closed his eyes and sensed everything around him.

......

Dark clouds slowly obscured the moon, and the originally silvery earth became dark.

Kakashi, who was lying on his side in the sleeping bag, unconsciously flipped over, his brow furrowed slightly, three or two drops of fine sweat appeared on his forehead, and at the same time he unconsciously let out a few painful groans.

"Card --- Card ---- West ---"

The bloody look on the corner of Rinna's mouth came to Kakashi's mind again.

"Kakashi. Promise me that you must protect Lynn! ”

Along with Rin's sight, Obito's parting plea echoed in Kakashi's mind again.

Kakashi's body in the sleeping bag struggled and writhed more and more, and the fine sweat on his forehead increased, while he kept muttering "Don't".

……

"Whoo -----"

After a long time, Kakashi woke up from his sleeping bag. Startled, Kakashi woke up to find that his back had been soaked with sweat at some point.

Wiping the fine sweat from his forehead, Kakashi glanced at Ryuha. Ryuha, who was sitting in the tree, had her eyes slightly closed, as if she was asleep. Looking at Ryuha, who seemed to be asleep, Kakashi didn't care about the problem of the other party falling asleep at night, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.

Glancing at the sleeping people around him, and the snoring Munobu Santai, Kakashi got up lightly and left the sleeping bag and walked towards the stream not far away.

On the other side, when Kakashi had just left his sleeping bag, Ryuha, who had been thought to be asleep, opened his eyes and looked at Kakashi, who was walking towards the stream.

.....

"Can't wash it off, can't wash it off, why can't it be washed off....."

Kakashi, who came to the stream, kept rubbing his hands, and even though he didn't have anything on his hands, Kakashi still rubbed them vigorously, trying to wash away the blood that didn't exist.

Even though the water was crystal clear, it was incomparably crimson to Kakashi's eyes. Even though the water was cool, Kakashi felt a warmth like blood.

"Ah----h

Kakashi painfully pulled the diagonal forehead guard up, revealing the scarlet chakra hidden under the forehead guard.

Looking at his own reflection in the water, looking at the writing wheel eye that couldn't be turned off, this young man who rarely cried, couldn't stop the tears rolling in his eyes.
